Twisted Deaths (4K, 5:02) – A detailed look at the radio station kills as well as the big one at the junkyard. Laurie lives with her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) and has chosen to liberate herself from fear and rage and embrace life. A Different Threat – As Haddonfield evolves to a new era, we examine how the evil within has also evolved. It was a great way to bring Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie back after her unfortunately lame death in Halloween: Resurrection and reintroduce The Shape for a new generation of slasher fans. Still, some elements work, and it definitely sheds an interesting look at fear culture and yes, trauma.

Whatever your thoughts on Halloween Kills, it ended on an intriguing cliff-hanger – hinting at an evolution of evil, of how it had evolved past simply inhabiting the soul of a single man and now had been somehow released, alongside Myers’ own mortality and it promised much in terms of the final showdown with Laurie Strode as a result. and yet upon release, the howls of derision that greeted the film from the most ardent sections of Halloween fandom (full disclosure: myself included) let Blumhouse (the film’s producers), Green and Curtis know that they had singularly failed to deliver on any of their hype or on their promises. When the local murder of a young boy by his babysitter (Rohan Campbell) is framed by the media as a copycat killing in the style of Myers, it instigates a re-emergence of violence which convinces Laurie to confront Myers and end things once and for all.

The first film was pretty good I thought, the first 20 mins of the 2nd film were also pretty good, the rest of the 2nd film and the whole of this film are just awful, really really bad, such a letdown. If ever an opening credits font could serve as a warning shot, the use of the Halloween III: Season of the Witch font was it.

It helps fill the soundscape without overpowering the elements while also punching up the LFE with those low pulsing tones. Myers hasn’t been seen since, and Laurie finally decides to liberate herself from rage and fear and embrace life. David Gordon Green’s alternate timeline of what comes after John Carpenter’s 1977 Halloween found its conclusion this past fall. And it’s another bog-standard major studio 4K release – a good transfer with extras that almost insult rather than inform/entertain.

Surround Sound Presentation: There’s plenty of fun around the room with both creepy ambiance as well as some nice unique jumps coming from the rear and side channels.If there’s been one constant with this new trilogy it's each film has scored an excellent 4K transfer, and that trend continues with this 2160p Dolby Vision presentation of Halloween Ends. Notorious serial killer Michael Myers (Nick Castle) hasn't been seen for four years since the events of 'Halloween Kills' (2021) and Laurie Strode (Curtis) is striving to embrace a life free from the long shadow of his violent rampages. The most acclaimed and revered horror franchise in film history reaches its epic, terrifying conclusion as Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) faces off for the last time against the embodiment of evil, Michael Myers. Surround usage is pleasing if not quite as omnipresent as it possibly could have been – the club scene is a perfect example of this, with the music being played locked firmly to the front soundstage, only bleeding into the rears and overheads when drama requires it to. Little more than a short scuffle in a suburban kitchen, the ending of Halloween (2018) felt more fitting than the staggeringly limp denouement delivered here.
